You know, their own personal simulation, their own personal reality hallucination, which fortunately happens to overlap with other people's. It's pretty congruent with other people's, so it makes sense. Otherwise, we'd all be isolated. I mean, presumably there's something out there that we all share, but we're seeing this –

Everything we experience is a reflection of our neurochemical brain states, basically. And you can tweak it various ways, with drugs or whatever, with feedback, with meditation, with shamanic practices, with sound even. You can alter states. But everything filters through that neurochemical process.

Right. And I admit I am puzzled by that. I am not sure quite what to say about that. I think it's very interesting that people do see the same thing. I think it is a leap to go from that to say, well, this proves that we're living in a simulation.

I think that's quite a leap, you know.

uh but then you know you know in science uh and again science is You know, it doesn't have all the answers, but the scientific stance or the sort of scientific attitude is the application of Occam's razor is a good thing. You know, Occam's razor basically said, what is the... The easiest explanation. What explains the data? What is the most likely explanation that explains the data?

You know, so it's a leap to go from these people's experiences and say, oh, that proves the world that... You know, the world's a simulation, which means we have to dump into the dumpster everything we thought we knew about the world, and people are reluctant to do that. I'm not sure exactly.

I think it may have to do with what we were talking about before about the collective unconscious and the fact that we're all connected. by this bedrock of the collective unconscious. I think the Jungian notion of these archetypes in some realm, and we're just islands sticking up out of this ocean, but at the bedrock we're all connected.
